About wine:
All the typical characteristics of the appellation are summed up in this straightforward and precise Premier Cru. Its pale gold color with green highlights is the first sign. The nose combines exotic fruits with a slightly smoky and vegetal background. The palate is full-bodied and dominated by citrus fruits, resting on a lively and taut mineral structure. Harmony from start to finish. 2028-2033
